    Estimated weight, 15,000 lbs. Pulled a stranded F250 diesel 4X4 truck + livestock trailer + cattle in the trailer up a hill a few years back. I also pulled a utility trailer loaded with about 7000 lbs for about 10 miles once. But for normal towing around 3500 lbs is all I pull

    Last month I towed about 4000k (if you include the trailer weight) and had another 500 lbs in the bed. I went about 650 miles through the mountains. ECT was on and I kept it in S4. The truck did great. Way better than what people on here might lead you to believe. Averaged about 15 mpg. I wouldn't hesitate to do the same thing again. I kept the speed between 60 and 65 for most of the trip and had no issues. I would feel confident towing more weight if I was on flat land and didn't have to go through mountains, but for what I was doing, everything went well.

    A 3100# Genie towable boom lift is the heaviest thing I’ve had behind my 3rd gen

    No worries pulling it, but stopping was a different story and I about had to smoke my clutch backing it up the slight incline that is my driveway

    If you tow any weight with 3 pedals you almost HAVE to get 2wd low mod

    When towing do you switch it to S4? do you switch to HI? or just keep it at S4 throughout the drive?

    Lol I was throwing axes at my target the other night and I hit a screw with the blade. I immediately said "sorry axe" and my buddy laughed his ass off.
